Whats the difference between phlantraphy and taxes, someone took too much and gave a little back to those of there chosing. Dollar gone is dollar gone. One gets a tax write off and the other gets bitched at because they paid off there friends instead of yours.

I think if you gave the farmer anymore money they would not spend it on local communities (some might). It would be spent on that new pickup or piece of equipment as it is easier to say that you need that piece of equipment and not donate to the local rink for example. If you think land and equipment prices are high give the farmer some more disposable income! Let the big companies do the donating. I give what I can, albeit probably not as much as it should be.

I see quite a few $55,000+ pickups at the arena. More than enough to cover the morgtage.
Our world would look quite different without corporate tax write offs.

A $55,000 pickup is a cheap one in today's world. Try 85,000, maybe even $95,000 one all the crap is hung on it and its been lifted x amount. This is pretty close to the average when you go to a crop production show. The ones that say Denali and Super King or whatever Ford calls its now make me chuckle.

If its paid for great but really, what's the point. Oops, I forgot, it could be leased (biggest scam of the century). They are fuel guzzlers and so many complain about carbon tax on here.

Gotta pull the sleds and 40ft 5th wheel, wakeboard boat somehow I guess

Just bought a 55k 2013 1500 for $21k. My 07 has 290k. My 94 has 325k. Thats all I need to make bushels, but I'm outdated I guess.


Some posters here seem to be in a bubble.

It would be nice if I got the ackowledgment the big boys get, the jerseys with their name on it were paid for by me, along with the rest of the equipment my boys are wearing, as we volunteer in the kitchen and pay rink fees, and buy 50/50 and rack up the miles on our pickup so yea we need to replace them and guess what they never get any cheaper.
I guess I got my last name on the back of a few jerseys but I paid for that too.
take some credit fellas, don't give that away too
